Biography
Cyril of Ethiopia was born in what is now Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. His name was Romanized from the name Kubwa, meaning "big" in Swahili. Cyril was a man of Jewish descent, but he became a Christian after hearing of the spread of the religion. Cyril gained a cult following and founded Cyrilian Christianity in Ethiopia - a mix of Roman, Beta Jewish, and Christian ideas, he was greeted in the province of Judea by the governor. However, he was unwelcome among the people of the cities, who disliked his strange algorithm for a religion. In 316 AD, at the age of 62, he was crucified by a crowd in Jerusalem.
